Andy Warhol on consumerism: “Buying is much more American than thinking.”
To quote Fight Club again, “We buy things we don’t need, to impress people we don’t like.”
Ryan Holiday • The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living: Featuring new translations of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius
“I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of 'work,' because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do.”
― Andy Warhol, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol
Modern aspiration is not about having money to buy things, but having taste to know what to buy.
All pretenses aside, Andy Warhol’s quote is the dominant sentiment of our time: “Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.” Making money is a high. Like sex and drugs and gambling and art. That all these activities cluster together at things called “art fairs” is no mistake.
